WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration
and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects
of vibration and/or noise such as: maintaining the tool and the accessories,
keeping the hands warm, and organization of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or
cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
injury.
b) Operations such as polishing are not recommended to be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories that are not specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbor hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively, and
may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspects the accessory such
as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear, or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If a power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use a
face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear a dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves, and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high-intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of a
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the
immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out
of your control.
l) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
m) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing
pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to
be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point
of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the
edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel
may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on the direction
of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use an auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-
up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory may kick
back over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if
kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in a direction opposite to the
wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive CuttingOff Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the
specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of the center depressed wheels must be mounted below
the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through
the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed to the operator. The
guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with the wheel, and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of the correct size and shape
for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different
from grinding wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn-down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for
larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When
the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the
possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at
you.
c) When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while
the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kick
back if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s
recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary
operations. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the
brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any
interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush
may expand in diameter due to workload and centrifugal forces.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Always check if the spindle lock button is fully released before switching on
the tool! After using the spindle lock to tighten/loosen the abrasive disc, it
is possible that the button may stick in the lock position.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that no persons are
endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no combustible materials should be
located in the vicinity (spark flight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid flying sparks and sanding dust hitting your body.
Never reach into the dangerous area of the machine when it is running.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations or if
other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to find out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the arbor and
vulcanized fiber grinding wheel), significant contamination can build up on
the inside of the die grinder. Do not let any metal parts enter the airing
slots – the danger of a short circuit!
WARNING! The danger of burns! The wheel and workpiece will become hot
during use. Wear gloves when changing discs or touching workpiece. Keep hands
away from the grinding area at all times.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage
due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack, or charger in
fluid or allow fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing
products, etc., Can cause a short circuit.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep
dry at all times.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery packs. Do not use
battery packs from other systems.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
Battery packs that have not been used for some time should be recharged before
use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery
pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum lifetime, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after
use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the
charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from
moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition Every six months of
storage, charge the pack as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit situations that
cause a high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel
gauge will flash, and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger. Under extreme circumstances, the internal
temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the
fuel gauge will flash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go
off, the work may continue.
Transporting Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local,
national, and international provisions and regulations.
The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject to
Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport are exclusive
to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process has to be
accompanied by corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent
short circuits. Ensure that the battery pack is secured against movement
within the packaging. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
For accessories intended to be fitted with a threaded hole wheel, ensure that
the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length. Always
use and store the cutting and grinding wheels according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Always use the correct guard for cutting and grinding. The
grinding surface of the center depressed wheels must be mounted min. 2 mm
below the plane of the guard lip.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with the machine.
Always use the auxiliary handle. The workpiece must be fixed if it is not
heavy enough to be steady. Never move the workpiece towards the rotating wheel
by hand.
The flange nut must be securely tightened before the machine is started. If
the tool is not securely tightened with the flange nut, it is possible that
the tool will lose the required clamping force when it is decelerated.
OVERLOAD AND KICKBACK PROTECTION
The power tool has an overload and kickback safety function and stops if it is
overloaded. Switch off the power tool and then switch the power tool back on
again in order to continue to work.
